I don’t think I have ever failed at something so badly. I’m not talking about my actual holiday – because that was great! My plan to post something every single day of the holidays went completely to pot. Now I bet you’re all thinking; yes, she stayed on the sofa for the remainder of the holiday, watching Titanic and eating far too much chocolate. But you would be wrong. In fact, I did loads of things.

Today I’ll tell you about my day in the Lake District. The Lakes has always been one of my favourite places to visit for a stroll with the dogs and a piece of cake after. I like to take the day easy; driving around until I find the perfect spot and then taking Pippa and Poppy (a.k.a. Rottweiler and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) for a wander around a loch or up a hill. We usually walk for about two hours and then it’s back to Daisy (a.k.a. car).

After that, we bounce up and down the country lanes in search of a café. I like to find the cutest little tea room with delicious cake and good tea. My favourite cake has got to be Red Velvet, with cream cheese frosting. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
